Time4ANap Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) We currently have a "foster." We received a call a little over a week ago about a 9 year old girl in need of a home after her owner passed away and asked if we could foster her for a few days. Lavida arrived the next morning, decked out in her finest bling and a pretty collar. She and Mark are getting along well. Although there is no record of her being a broodie, she has a lot of broodie tendencies and is kind of bossy. Mark was used to this from his sister, Diva, and has just kind of rolled with it. Lavida is a very happy girl and loves walks. And yes - we have both accidentally called her "Petunia" a few times. There is quite a resemblance.

Kestrel Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I read her name as "Ladiva" in the post title , but even if she's not La Diva it looks like she's fitting in.

She's doing well and has settled in just like she's always been here. I would swear that she must be a broodie because she does "broodie things" all day long. There is no record of her being a broodie, so I think she must have spent a lot of time hanging out with the broodies at the farm before she went to her previous human. She learned those things somewhere. She is happy and bossy. Mark, being the gentleman that he always has been lets her get away with everything she tries. He just just kind of looks at her and shrugs off when she steals a treat from him or when she tries to finish his bowl of food. He was that way with Diva also, but he and Diva were together for 7 years. I'm really surprised that he let Lavida come in and kind of take over. They even walk perfectly together.

GreyPoopon Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Awesome update.

I did once. I still don't have the paperwork for that dog. But I brought her across the border and she's been here for over 3 1/2 years, so I doubt the agency is expecting her back.

You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
